A Global Killer, A Solvable Problem

The Pure Earth/Blacksmith Institute Pollution blog puts the spotlight on one of the biggest, yet most underreported, global problems – toxic pollution. Over 100 million people are at risk in some of the world’s worst polluted places.

Life-threatening toxic pollution is one of the biggest global killers, especially of women and children. Moreover, the effects of pollution are usually felt far beyond its source. The good news is that it is a problem that can be solved. Solutions already exist. After all, toxic pollution has already been mostly eliminated in the industrialized world. Now Pure Earth/Blacksmith is fighting to do the same in developing countries.
